Scalable, distributed real-time transaction processing;
Writing correct concurrent, fault-tolerant and scalable applications is too hard. Most of the time, that’s because we are using the wrong tools and the wrong level of abstraction. Akka and Akka.NET is here to change that.

In this session we’ll talk about the following: • Threading, concurrency and parallelism • The Actor Model • What is Akka.NET? • Distributed by default • Load balancing – Scale up and out • State Machines • Fault tolerance and self healing

About Akka.NET

Akka.NET is a port of the popular Java/Scala framework Akka to .NET.
This is a community driven port and is not affiliated with Typesafe who makes the original Java/Scala version.

Jeppe has a background as software development engineer from Aalborg University and cares a lot about application life-cycle management. He’s got a killer talk on Visual Studio Online and how developers can avoid dealing with boring infrastructure and instead focus on being writing awesome code.

Visual Studio Online came out about a year ago and has evolved at a rapid pace since its release. Jeppe’s talk is very demo intensive (it only has about 3 or 4 PowerPoint slides) and in his examples he is showing all of the cool features in VSO such as code repositories (in Git or TFVC), scrum boards, continuous integration and delivery, service hooks, Active Directory connection, load testing and much more.

Auth0 is a SaaS that helps you with Authentication and Authorization. You can use Social Providers (like Facebook, Google, Twitter, etc.), Enterprise Providers (Active Directory, LDAP, Microsoft Azure AD, SAML, etc.) and a Username/Password store which can be saved either by us or by you. We have SDKs for the most common platforms (Java, Ruby, Node, iOS, Angular, etc.) so that with a couple lines of code, you can get authentication for your app implemented even when you’re using different technologies and authentication protocols. Need something special? Rules allow you to run Javascript on our servers (in a sandbox) and interact with the authentication pipeline. Let us worry about authentication so that you can focus on your core business.

Mobile/Web/Backend developers can all benefit from Auth0 because authentication is a concept which exists on multiple levels in your applications. This session will also cover the different types of authentication you need to work with when building applications (mobile authentication, web applications, SPA and Web APIs).

Sandrino Di Mattia (Customer success engineer and Azure MVP) and Eugenio Pace (Co-founder) from Auth0 are visiting Copenhagen and are happy to have them do a session for CNUG.
